Never really been a railway buff but spent an interesting couple of hours today brousing through this via a download from archive.org.

Recommended for anyone who is looking for an intro into, atleast in my mind, a little covered but substantial support function.

Regards

A very good short introduction is to be found in

British Railways at War 1914 1918 by Alan Earnshaw - many good photos

E A Pratt's "part work" subsequently published in two volumes is probably the best single source on the railways on the home front. Whilst not perfect it is a fascinating read and can be heartily recommended.
